Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Sivà 60 Mesi
アルタ・ランガ DOCG リゼルヴァ「シヴァ」60ヶ月
Abrigo Fratelli
Chardonnay
About this wine
The Riserva expression of Sivà, aged on the lees for 60 months — nearly double the base bottling — under the Alta Langa DOCG Riserva designation. Made in a Pas Dosé (zero dosage) style in vintages such as 2013, it shows particular complexity, with immediate citrus aromas of cedar and orange, lemongrass, apple and pineapple, reflecting the extended lees aging.
A more serious, complex sparkling wine best suited to those who already enjoy traditional-method sparklers and want to explore extended lees aging.
Sommelier's Note
"Since 2022, Abrigo Fratelli has offered two tiers of Sivà — the 36-month version and this 60-month Riserva — and the extra two years on lees deliver a noticeably deeper, more citrus-driven complexity worth seeking out."
Food Pairings
Its extra complexity and structure make it a strong match for richer seafood preparations, aged cheeses, and celebratory tasting menus.

バローロ DOCG ラヴェーラ
Barolo DOCG Ravera
RedNebbiolo
Abrigo Fratelli's flagship red, first produced in 2013 when the family acquired a parcel in the celebrated Ravera MGA cru of Novello — one of Barolo's most prestigious vineyard sites. Vines dating from 1960, 1980 and 2003 grow on calcareous, clay-rich fossil marl soil that gives the wine exceptional freshness and structure. Aged roughly 38 months — about 23 months in large Slavonian oak botti, followed by concrete vats and bottle — it shows violet, scorched earth and leather on the nose, with dried black cherry, clove and tobacco on a full-bodied, firmly tannic palate.
ネッビオーロ・ダルバ DOC「タルディス」
Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC Tardiss
RedNebbiolo
Bottled under the Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC — a more accessible sibling appellation to Barolo and Barbaresco — Tardiss is Abrigo Fratelli's varietal Nebbiolo from vineyards around Diano d'Alba, Novello and Sinio. It is aged in wood (a mix of used oak casks and French barriques) for about 12 months, then rests at least 6 months in bottle before release, giving it Nebbiolo's classic aromatic lift with a gentler tannic profile than the estate's Barolo.
ランゲ DOC ネッビオーロ
Langhe DOC Nebbiolo
RedNebbiolo
Abrigo Fratelli's entry point into Nebbiolo, bottled under the broader Langhe DOC. A clear, fairly intense ruby red with brick-red reflections, it opens with balsamic violet aromas intertwined with redcurrant, raspberry and a hint of freshly cut grass. Dry and fresh on the palate, with raspberry, redcurrant and cherry fruit, notable minerality and velvety tannins that ease into a lingering balsamic finish.
バルベーラ・ダルバ DOC スペリオーレ
Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore
RedBarbera
Abrigo Fratelli's Barbera d'Alba Superiore amplifies the grape's classic red-fruit character with spicy oak notes from barrel aging. Full-bodied with Barbera's signature vibrant acidity kept in balance, it shows rose-hip-like texture and fine, silky tannin alongside fresh blackberry fruit, rounded out by vanilla and a touch of oak.
ディアーノ・ダルバ DOCG
Diano d'Alba DOCG
RedDolcetto
The historic core of Abrigo Fratelli's portfolio: a 100% Dolcetto from the DOCG zone surrounding the family's home village of Diano d'Alba, one of the few Dolcetto appellations to hold DOCG status. Gently crushed and destemmed, it ferments on the skins for 4-5 days at 25-26°C and matures in steel tanks for about 4 months before bottling the February after harvest — a traditional, unoaked style that preserves Dolcetto's classic fruit and floral aromatics.
ディアーノ・ダルバ DOCG スペリオーレ「ピエトリン」
Diano d'Alba DOCG Superiore Pietrin
RedDolcetto
The top expression of Abrigo Fratelli's Dolcetto, sourced from the Pietrin vineyard and bottled under the Superiore designation. Compared to the estate's standard Diano d'Alba, this is a more fragrant wine that elegantly balances easy drinkability with real structure, reflecting the extra ripeness and aging requirements of the Superiore tier.
